Capacity Enhancement 

The new arrival block spanning 2550 sqm area to the existing terminal space, boasts 24 state-of-the-art immigration counters reflecting art, cityscape, and culture of the city. 

This expansion aims to ensure a smoother and more efficient arrival experience for the millions of passengers passing through the airport annually. Rapidly increasing passengers preferring to travel through Ahmedabad Airport, the expansion is also kept on fast track. Ahmedabad Airport served over 10 million passengers last financial year and has already served more than 4 million passengers in just 4.5 months. The airport is expected to see growth of over 25% in passenger numbers by the end of the current year.

To be able to cater to growing passenger numbers, several infrastructural developments are going on at SVPI airport. Earlier immigration areas had 16 immigration counters; now the new area will have 24 counters with the latest technology and enhanced facilities to ensure a seamless passenger experience.

Design Philosophy

Ahmedabad being the first world heritage city, the all-new arrival hall is planned to indulge passengers in the city’s rich heritage. 

The revamped terminal arrival area is designed meticulously with the fitting theme of “Amaru Amdavad” (My Amdavad), paying homage to Gujarat’s rich heritage, distinctive rituals, and vibrant culture of community celebration. As international passengers make their way through the terminal, they will be treated to an artistic glimpse of Ahmedabad’s dynamic ambience as they pass beneath an array of shimmering torans, symbols of an exuberant and festive welcome in the near future.

With ongoing art projects, at the heart of the terminal’s transformation there will be the “Aangan Van” planters, human-scale installations that showcase the region’s rich and ancient culture through Dholavira encryption and art & craft will be added soon. These planters will serve as serene relaxation spaces, creating a sky-lit indoor oasis where travellers can find the rest, repose, and energy they need after a long flight.

Efficiency and Traveller Convenience 

Recognizing the importance of a seamless baggage reclaim experience, the Baggage Reclaim Hall now features six impressive spacious baggage belts, catering to the increased passenger traffic. Moreover, the improved green and red channel customs exits will ensure passengers have a swift exit from the terminal.

These enhancements at Terminal 2 exemplify Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport’s unwavering commitment to providing an elevated passenger experience.
